dont mean to sound rude but I have run both sizes so I know what I am talking about. You are guessing. Its funny when people talk with so much authority to only put their foot in their mouth. The 245/30 looks small when the car is dropped like mine. My car is a little lower than your car so I wouldnt expect you to understand. I aware that tires also have a load rating?? I am not saying people should all switch but the fact is that the 245/30 and the 235/30 are not rated high enough to technically hold the weight of our cars. I had no issues with dents after 2 years of 245/30, but the 255/30 looks nicer and will more safely hold the weight of the car. I just replaced my tires because the two fronts failed. One had a bubble and the other had tread that was separating. AZ is hotter than any where else in the USA. Mix a heavy car with balding tires that are actually not strong enough to hold the weight of the car and thats what you can get

Like I have said its not to big like a 245/35 , but will give a bit more sidewall than a 245/30 and add more protection as well as a better ride. What are you dropped on???

here are some shots. I am probably going to leave the rear alone because part of why I did the change was to close the gap in the diameters of the front and rear tires.
I took some great shots of the car in the driveway today but the forum limit will not et me post the picture due to size . These crappy ones are the only one that would show up

Here are some closer shots I took today as well. This will give you a closer look at the front tires. There are some crappy garage shots earlier that give the closest look.

this pic pretty much shows me exactly why i think the tire is way too wide for a 8.5 wheel. but then again, it's not my car
